In other developments…
The AIT guidebook says to expect three knocks on your door around Christmas time. The garbage guys, the mailman and the firemen will come by to sell calendars; this is your opportunity to give them their Christmas bonus. Tonight I had a visit from ‘le sapeurs pompiers’ – the firemen.
Could someone please explain to me why it is that firemen always look like that. A couple of them rang the buzzer at the driveway gate this evening and let me tell you as they came looming out of the dark in their reflective striped coats I was speechless Then one of them gives his spiel and shows me the calendar. I wipe my chin and manage to say one moment please and go for my purse. As I hand them the 5 Euros I’m thinking, yeah I’ll take two…calendars that is.
And now a photo of Le Chateau de Puilaurens.
